Pillowcase changing device

Abstract

A pillowcase changing device for facilitating the changing of pillowcases includes a pair of grabbers. Each grabber comprises a frame. A field is coupled to and extends between an inner perimeter of the frame. A plurality of tines and a handle are coupled to and extend from an outer perimeter of the frame. The handle is positioned on the frame such that the handle is configured to be grasped in a hand of a user. The pair of grabbers is configured to position singly adjacent to a top face and a bottom face of a pillow. The handles are positioned on the frames such that the handles are positioned to motivate the frames into a substantially closed configuration. The pillow is compressed between the pair of grabbers such that respective tines are interlockingly positioned. The pillow is insertable into and extractable from a pillowcase.

I claim:

 wherein said pair of grabbers configured for positioning singly adjacent to a top face and a bottom face of a pillow, wherein said handles are positioned on said frames such that said handles are positioned to motivate said frames into a substantially closed configuration, wherein the pillow is compressed between said pair of grabbers such that respective said tines are interlockingly positioned, wherein the pillow is insertable into and extractable from a pillowcase. 
 
     
     
       2. The device of  claim 1 , further including said frame being rectangularly shaped. 
     
     
       3. The device of  claim 2 , further including said frame being squarely shaped. 
     
     
       4. The device of  claim 1 , further including a pair of stiffeners, each said stiffener being coupled to and extending between opposing corners of said frame such that said stiffeners intersect proximate to a center of said frame. 
     
     
       5. The device of  claim 1 , further including said field being meshed. 
     
     
       6. The device of  claim 1 , further including said tines being positioned on opposing side edges and a leading edge of said frame. 
     
     
       7. The device of  claim 6 , further including each said tine comprising:
 a first section coupled to and extending substantially perpendicularly from said outer perimeter, said first section being substantially coplanar with said frame; 
 a second section coupled to said first section distal from said frame, said second section being arcuate; 
 and a third section coupled to said second section distal from said first section; and 
 wherein said third section is positioned on said second section such that said third section is substantially perpendicular to said frame. 
 
     
     
       8. The device of  claim 1 , further including said handle being positioned on a trailing edge of said frame. 
     
     
       9. The device of  claim 8 , further including said handle comprising:
 a rod coupled to and extending substantially perpendicularly from said trailing edge, said rod being substantially coplanar with said frame; and 
 a pair of rings coupled to and extending from said rod distal from said frame, said rings being substantially coplanar with said frame. 
 
     
     
       10. The device of  claim 9 , further including said rings being substantially ovally shaped. 
     
     
       11. The device of  claim 1 , further including said grabbers comprising plastic. 
     
     
       12. The device of  claim 1 , further including said grabbers comprising aluminum tubing. 
     
     
       13. A pillowcase changing device comprising a pair of grabbers, each said grabber comprising:
 a frame, said frame being rectangularly shaped, said frame being squarely shaped; 
 a pair of stiffeners, each said stiffener being coupled to and extending between opposing corners of said frame such that said stiffeners intersect proximate to a center of said frame; 
 a field coupled to and extending between an inner perimeter of said frame, said field being meshed; 
 a plurality of tines coupled to and extending from an outer perimeter of said frame, said tines being positioned on opposing side edges and a leading edge of said frame, each said tine comprising a first section, a second section and a third section, said first section being coupled to and extending substantially perpendicularly from said outer perimeter, said first section being substantially coplanar with said frame, said second section being coupled to said first section distal from said frame, said second section being arcuate, said third section being coupled to said second section distal from said first section, wherein said third section is positioned on said second section such that said third section is substantially perpendicular to said frame; 
 a handle coupled to and extending from said outer perimeter of said frame, wherein said handle is positioned on said frame such that said handle is configured for grasping in a hand of a user, said handle being positioned on a trailing edge of said frame, said handle comprising:
 a rod coupled to and extending substantially perpendicularly from said trailing edge, said rod being substantially coplanar with said frame, and 
 a pair of rings coupled to and extending from said rod distal from said frame, said rings being substantially coplanar with said frame, said rings being substantially ovally shaped; 
 
 said grabbers comprising plastic, said grabbers comprising aluminum tubing; and 
 wherein said pair of grabbers configured for positioning singly adjacent to a top face and a bottom face of a pillow, wherein said handles are positioned on said frames such that said handles are positioned to motivate said frames into a substantially closed configuration, wherein the pillow is compressed between said pair of grabbers such that respective said tines are interlockingly positioned, wherein the pillow is insertable into and extractable from a pillowcase.
